$\frac{4}{3} π r^{3}$

Step 1

This derivative could not be completed using the chain rule. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

Combine $\frac{4}{3}$ and $π$ .

$\frac{d}{d r} [\frac{4 π}{3} r^{3}]$

Step 3

Since $\frac{4 π}{3}$ is constant with respect to $r$ , the derivative of $\frac{4 π}{3} r^{3}$ with respect to $r$ is $\frac{4 π}{3} \frac{d}{d r} [r^{3}]$ .

$\frac{4 π}{3} \frac{d}{d r} [r^{3}]$

Step 4

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d r} [r^{n}]$ is $n r^{n - 1}$ where $n = 3$ .

$\frac{4 π}{3} (3 r^{2})$
